U.S.Coast Guard HU-16E 1963
Well today is the US Coast Guard's 225th birthday, so I had to post something the "wing maggots" (we-who-did-not-fly's endearing term for our CG aviator brothers) would recognize. It's the last of my Monogram 1:72 scale HU-16's [...]

Monogram / Revell 1/48 Swift Boat
The Revell Swift Boat in 1/48th scale is a re-release ot the old Monogram kit. This kit, besides being in an odd scale (for me) seemed very "toy-like" in that a lot of the "detail" was molded on. There was no [...]

Our 5 week mission :)

This is Monogram's classic Super Sabre in 1/48 scale. It is typical 70's and 80's Monogram with raised panel detail and good detail ie. open gun bay ammo chute, open speed brake and raised cockpit details.
This model represents an F-100 D [...]
1/48th Monogram B-26 Invader As A JD-1
Many years have gone by since the 1/48th Monogram B-26 Invader kit was first released yet that kit is still remarkable and many markings options exist for building it. I decided to build this one as a JD-1, the Navy version. It's finished [...]
Burn Up That Quarter Mile...Monogram's "Forty Niner" Dragster
